I'm sad to inform you that my friend and excellent bencher Gubben will retire from XOC due to health issues. He asked me write here to let you guys know. Doctors don't know what's wrong but he has been ill for some time and is only getting worse it seems. Gubben has reached the age of 62 now and has been a very important person to the Swedish OC community for a long time. He hasn't been much in the spotlight himself but has taught, helped and supported legends like Elmor and Kinc. He is one of the reasons that got me started with benching this year as well.

At least this last year has been a very good one for him with highlights such as:

An outstanding win in Challenger 2015 Div IV (AMD) with 606 points in total (out of 625 possible).

Reaching 8460 MHz CPU freq with a FX-8320. Tenth place of all time.

He holds the global third place in GPU-PI 1B with a 290X.

And last but not least he was one of the persons that took little Sweden to a third place in Country Cup this year. Although he could not bench as much as he had wanted due to his health.

I hope you get better Gubben and hope that you will be able to make a comeback some day!
